Close the browser, delete all cookies, do an iisreset, disable the guest account, buy chocolate - in that order - and try again. /Steve

I've just done something similar and had a similar problem. I profiled the server and found that everytime I tried to log in, a query was run against a completely different database. I eventually found out that this was the database with the dbid of the old database (prior to restore). Somewhere there's a cached/logged reference to the old database, however the steps outlined by Steve didn't help (not even the chocolate!). Does anyone know where this reference to the dbid is stored? Thanks Will

sorry, my post was in fact a red herring... while it was accessing a db with the corresponding id to the one it had before, this was a co-incidence. The actual problem is that when it goes to the admin site, for some reason it is trying to go to the default website.
